do not think bluesky will be able to compete with the organic viral growth of nostr
Discussion
True. Let’s protocol wars play out.
BlueSky could be the bridge to onboard the masses to nostr…
Exactly my thought, they should start working on nostr as soon as they realise it
Nostrs 21 Million BTC marketing budget for referrals is going to be tough to beat.
No way, agree.
Train left the station already and with momentum
Have you any thoughts on Zion?
do not think zion will be able to compete with the organic viral growth of nostr 🤙
No. I agree. It’s too static. Maybe it could function as some kind of application upon Nostr?
Any insight into BlueSky Social? Is that a competitor?
Correct!
Bluesky and Zion allow users to self-host their data.
• Nostr distributes data across remote relays but the relays don’t sync/talk to each other [no syncing = less Sybil attack risk].
• IPFS distributes data across remote relays but it can sync the data relays host [syncing = high Sybil attack risk].
IPFS stores data as merkle trees and has synchronization, but it lacks the unforgeable costliness that creates Sybil defense.
Nostr lacks synchronization and is confined to the mutual relay model. This model is inherently small scale, but it minimizes Sybil risk by sacrificing traffic/talking between relays.
The scalability solution succeeding Nostr would be Sybil-resistant synchronization across relays, but so far bitcoin is the only P2P network to achieve this. #[4]
Zion could become a NOSTR client 🤙
Believe they are looking for email for sign up. Can’t confirm though.
History shows us not the best tech is always the winner. So even if bluesky is superior it’s too late IMO
Indeed this organic growth is huge.
Odell spitting facts. What’s new?
nostr is built on the right principles, autonomy and value for value, nothing can compete with that. if someone built a protocol on those same principles we still win. a good outcome for bluesky is they stumble across some nifty solutions to organizing decentralized social networks and nostr learns them. in all cases we nostr forth with confidence.
yeah, from an "organic" standpoint
but don't underestimate how niche everything here still is
bitcoin is niche already, so nostr is 100x niche
It’s already dead.
What are the tradeoffs between ATP and nostr?
You could apply the same reasoning applies to Mastodon vs. Nostr. But Friendster and MySpace do not in fact dominate social media, despite huge network effects. Impossible to tell, really.
Doh, stupid typos. Would be great to be able to delete!
Why not though? If any client can use the protocol what makes it so different from a user perspective?
Imo interoperability/integration of the two protocols should be a focus, assuming it’s technically feasible…
What does it do better?
